Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Moving Services

1. How far in advance should manufacturing facilities plan for industrial relocations?

Manufacturing operations should begin planning major relocations 6-12 months in advance, with complex production facilities potentially requiring 12-18 months of preparation. This extended timeline allows for proper production scheduling, equipment vendor coordination, utility installation planning, and strategic inventory management. Planning should begin with a comprehensive facility assessment and production impact analysis by experienced industrial moving specialists.

Industrial relocations utilize specialized equipment including hydraulic gantry systems for heavy lifting, air-bearing movement systems for precision positioning, custom-engineered rigging for specialized machinery, industrial forklifts with extended capacity ratings, specialized transport vehicles with air-ride suspension, and custom crating systems for sensitive components. 

Professional industrial movers maintain comprehensive equipment inventories matched to specific load requirements.

Minimizing downtime during industrial relocation requires multiple strategies. Phased relocations help maintain partial production capacity throughout the transition. Strategic inventory building before the move ensures continued fulfillment of customer orders. For critical components, temporary duplicate production lines may be necessary.

After-hours and weekend moving schedules can reduce impact on regular operations. Priority-based equipment reinstallation focuses on critical production bottlenecks first to restore essential functions quickly. Comprehensive pre-planning should address utility connections and equipment calibration requirements well in advance of the actual move.

Industrial relocations require comprehensive safety planning including detailed lift plans for heavy equipment, engineering analysis of floor loading capacities, OSHA-compliant fall protection and confined space protocols, proper lock-out/tag-out procedures during disconnection and reconnection, specialized training for handling hazardous materials, and comprehensive communication systems between moving teams. 

All activities should be coordinated with facility safety managers and documented according to regulatory requirements.

Successful utility transitions start with thorough documentation of your current requirements – electrical specifications, air pressure needs, water flow rates, gas requirements, and ventilation parameters. Well before moving day, we coordinate with engineers at your new location and ensure necessary infrastructure is installed ahead of equipment arrival. 

Our process concludes with qualified technicians handling final connections and comprehensive testing before your equipment returns to production.

Industrial relocations must navigate several regulatory frameworks simultaneously. OSHA standards govern equipment handling and worker safety protocols. EPA guidelines apply when disconnecting systems with potential contaminant release. Local permits are often needed for transporting oversized equipment. 

Depending on your industry, you may face additional requirements – particularly in food processing, pharmaceutical, or specialized manufacturing operations where equipment may need recertification after relocation.

The key to preserving production efficiency is systematic documentation before a single component is moved. We create detailed records of current configurations, establish sequential labeling systems, and extensively photograph original setups. Success depends on involving your operators and maintenance personnel throughout planning and execution. 

During reinstallation, we follow original production workflows while identifying opportunities to incorporate efficiency improvements in your new space.

Supply chain continuity requires forward planning. We recommend:

  • Notifying customers and suppliers with appropriate lead times
  • Building strategic inventory of critical components
  • Considering temporary warehousing during transition phases
  • Arranging alternate production for time-sensitive products
  • Prioritizing reinstallation of equipment for high-demand items

Throughout the process, maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders protects your business relationships and revenue streams.

Specialized equipment requiring vendor support should be identified early in your planning process. Review original installation documentation and verify warranty implications before scheduling vendor technicians for both disconnection and reinstallation. In many cases, post-move recalibration services are necessary. 

Most importantly, establish clear documentation of responsibilities between your moving company and equipment vendors to prevent costly gaps in the transition process.

Industrial moves require comprehensive protection beyond standard policies. Your coverage should include equipment floater policies matching replacement values, business interruption coverage for potential production delays, and specialized protection for high-value machinery. Depending on your operation, you may also need inland marine policies, rigger’s liability coverage, and environmental liability protection. Most facilities customize their coverage limits to reflect their specific equipment values.

Quality control continuity begins with preserving your calibration standards. Test equipment and quality stations must be carefully disassembled with reference standards protected during transport. 

For fastest return to full production, quality systems should be reinstalled and verified before production equipment. Many operations benefit from third-party certification of critical measurement systems after relocation to ensure compliance and accuracy.

Regulated industries face unique requirements during relocation. You’ll need comprehensive documentation of all disassembly and cleaning procedures, often with regulatory notification before equipment is moved. Clean room environments require specialized protection protocols throughout the transition. 

After reinstallation, formal validation procedures verify equipment performance, with detailed records maintained for regulatory inspections. Many facilities involve compliance officers throughout planning and execution.

Protecting your automation investments starts with comprehensive backups of all programming and configuration data. Professional technicians should handle disconnection of sensitive electronics using specialized packaging with electrostatic protection. Critical components often require climate-controlled transport. 

During reinstallation, systems must be reconnected according to their dependency relationships, followed by extensive testing before resuming production control functions.

A relocation presents the perfect opportunity to improve your operational efficiency. Analyze current workflow bottlenecks before designing your new space. Engage production staff in layout planning to capture their practical insights. Consider future expansion needs while implementing lean manufacturing principles. 

Focus on optimizing material handling pathways while maintaining necessary maintenance access. With thoughtful planning, your new facility can significantly outperform your previous operation.
